[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 2955917, member: 684"] That's an awesome pic! :clap3: Sadly, no. I carried a sap in my back pocket when I was a rookie, by the advice of a district judge I knew. I was walking in the courthouse one day as he was walking out. I had my baton in my ring, like a good strapping young officer should. He hooked my arm and stopped me in my tracks and said, "what in the hell are you doing with that club?" I informed him it was an impact weapon and that I was required to carry one. He went on to say, "and just how many bad guys have you had the opportunity to use it on?" "None yet," was my reply. "Have you ever arrested a subject as big as you?" he asked. "No, not yet," I answered. "If you were to hit a person with that nightstick" he said," I would have a hard time siding with you, bubba. Lose that damned thing and slip a sap into your back pocket. That's all you need." So, I went out and bought myself a good leaded leather sap. About 10 months later, I arrive at CLEET (when they were at DPS in OKC) with my good ol' leaded, leather sap in my back pocket. Academy coordinator Randy Jacoby spots it in my pocket, calls me out of the class and says, "YOU! Don't walk - RUN to your car...lock that damned slapper up in your glove box and when you get home, throw it away! CLEET will NOT stand behind you if you were to use it. It is not an approved impact weapon." So, that was the end of my sap totin' days. :cry3: [/QUOTE]
